It consists of Peter Martyr's first three Decades reduced to French; followed by three Narrations, the first being a version of the De Insulis noviter repertis of Basle, 1521, which was the pirated first edition of Peter Martyr's fourth Decade; and the second and third are derived from the two letters of Cortes printed at Nürnberg in 1524. The three Decades are dedicated to Charles Duc of Angouleme, and the three Narrations to his sister Marguerite de France. They were the children of Francis I, and at that time only ten and nine years old, respectively.
